In a press conference on June 5, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said that the department's earlier statement saying there was "no evidence" Joss' murder was "related to his sexual orientation" was "way premature" and "before we had any real information."

Still lying.

    "While it may be true that we told a lie before we had evidence, we really wanted that first lie to be true, so it's cool, right?

    The problem is they had evidence as Joss’ husband had said as much

    Witness statements aren't evidence if they don't like what the witness has to say.

    They had years of evidence of previous hate crimes.

    Hell, the only reason they were at the place to begin with was to check the mail at the ashes of their previous house that had been burned down by a gay-hating arsonist.

    Which, notably, was not investigated by the pigs.

    Someone burned their house down (presumably killing their dog) and then placed the dog skull in the driveway to lure them back. When they came back the neighbor came at them calling them slurs and opened fire.

    Seems pretty suspicious to me, weird that the local cops couldn't piece it together.

    So according to the Chief, their detective did not interview the surviving victim of the crime before talking to the press. Snappy police work there. "We're not bigots who enabled this murder by ignoring the prior complaints of the victims, we're just really stupid. Golly!"

    The fucking account from his husband is the most clear cut hate crime shit.

    They came home to their dead dogs skull in their driveway before the assailant approached them, yelling homophobic slurs, and shot him. Also, someone in their neighborhood set their house in fire earlier this year.

    Fuck that county. I hope that king of the hill money gets used to turn that fucking county admin inside out.

    And they would have kept it as a “non hate crime” if the victim had not been a part of two popular TV shows…

    Joss' murderer has a name and an address. He is currently under house arrest.

    Wait house fucking arrest!!! Are you fucking kidding me? He murdered someone and it definitely was fucking hate crime and he isn't sitting in a fucking jail cell. Fuck Texas and fuck the police.

    He's out on a $200k bond. More than twice his home's value.

    You murder someone you shouldn't get a bond, especially in this case.

    I've been watching King of the Hill at work (all shift sometimes) recently and it's gotten to be real difficult to see the antagonistic characters on the show in the same light. Cartoons are supposed to be an exaggeration of their real life counterparts. Knowing what texas is harboring in real life really washes out the humor these antagonists are supposed to bring.

    I will never go back to the U.S but especially Texas. Texas is a shit hole

    I currently recommend staying out entirely because of the paranoid war against "immigration" that has made our borders openly hostile to everybody, but if that ever changes there's plenty of cities that are only as shitty as global average and if the national parks survive they are unmatched.

    How was the husband’s testimony not suggestive of a hate crime? It’s like suggesting the guy who firebombed people in Boulder Colorado last week wasn’t committing a hate crime.
